As for movies, John Lithgow played a former football player who was now a trans woman. Because of that portrayal I’ve never had an issue with transgender people. It’s just something that is and it doesn’t hurt anyone.

Woke #### isn’t new. You’re just being told it is because culture war.


Anyway, I’ve been on a John Candy kick so I rewatched Uncle Buck. God I miss that man.
I hope my comment was taken for the reference to Deadpool & Wolverine that it was.

In the vein of the original joke, I do find it at least little bit silly that Bryan Cranston received backlash for playing a quadriplegic in The Upside.
